[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened last year on two teams at Bethesda for sure - board member parent was removed from the board and his daughter went to another club. Tried to write letters with other parents names included. Tried to get the head coach fired [/quote]

Happening right now at Bethesda.  Certain parents be they board members, team managers, personal friends of coach can basically dictate the lineups.[/quote]
Interesting. We have a son at Bethesda, and I noticed that this year they updated the Parent Expectations to more clearly explain the appropriate process/chain of command for elevating any concern you may have. They specifically stated that under no circumstances should a parent contact a team manager or Board member with a concern. Sounds good in theory, as we’ve definitely seen meddling managers (along with mostly great ones) and people trying to influence playing time for their kid by joining a Club Board. On the other hand, BSC hasn’t always moved quickly to remove problematic coaches over the years, especially on the girls’ side, and some reasonable-seeming parents felt like they hit a brick wall trying to work through the proper channels.
